The Jade of the Red Chamber

Jiuxian lived in the private room, Lin Zhenyu was a little uncomfortable being watched by Shui Yang, she couldn't help twisting her body, and laughed twice, thinking about what happened to Shui Yang, it was so strange when she came back?

Qin Shulai and He Liu had asked the shopkeeper for another private room earlier, and the two of them went to eat happily, so they didn't stay here as a target. They didn't see the "whoosh" in the eyes of the master just now. Came over!

Shui Yang smiled inwardly, and said, "Let's eat."

Zhenyu was already hungry. At his age, when he wanted to eat more, he lowered his head and glanced at the long legs of the man next to him. He wanted to eat more, so he could grow taller!Now, there is no comparison between a white radish and a potato...

He raised his eyes inadvertently, only to find that Shui Yang was looking at him tenderly. Those eyes were really complicated, tender, struggling, maybe even hurt?Lin Zhenyu felt that there was something wrong with his brain, when could he understand the emotions in other people's eyes?And this look is not looking at my brother... Let's go...

Seeing Zhenyu looking up, Shui Yang quickly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding all her thoughts behind her.Zhenyu is not calm anymore, this is trying to cover up...?Feeling the throbbing heart in his chest, Zhenyu comforted himself, well, he must be thinking too much.Even so, Zhenyu felt restless as if she had fleas on her body, and even the food in her mouth didn't taste good, and Shui Yang's eyes kept flashing in front of her eyes.

A smile flickered across Shui Yang's drooping eyes, the more casually and hastily he concealed it, the more this person couldn't ignore the meaning behind it.

After finally finishing a meal of tasteless food, Lin Zhenyu wanted to ask Shui Yang who was holding a teacup and drinking tea several times, but he choked on the words again, could he directly ask you what you saw just now? My eyes are not right, is it...? !

Zhenyu is not an ignorant child. He has never eaten pork and seen pigs running away in all these years in his previous life. Besides, in this era, there are people at his age who are already fathers.Shui Yang's eyes looked like that... well, the feeling of love in my heart... Zhenyu thinks that Shui Yang must have encountered something while running an errand, or he should look through the almanac—maybe It is not suitable to meet friends today.

After a moment of silence, Shui Yang said slowly, "I heard that you are going to be engaged to your uncle's cousin Zhou?" This time, his dark eyes didn't dodge, and they looked straight into Zhenyu's.Zhenyu stared at Shuiyang's eyes, and was stunned. Obviously the eyes were normal and calm, but Zhenyu felt that there seemed to be uneasiness and scars in her eyes.

It took a long time for Zhenyu to realize, and quickly waved her hands and said, "How is it possible?! How old is she? It's just that she has an extra sister." My uncle's cousin is only ten years old, and it would be too traumatic for a little girl in elementary school to be his wife. up!Besides, he never thought about marrying a wife, he just felt that he was too far away from him.

But Shui Yang didn't let it go, the corners of his slightly raised lips didn't show the slightest smile: "It's not young, it's one year older than Daiyu, hasn't someone inquired about Daiyu?"

Zhenyu choked for a moment, laughed twice and said: "You think too much, that year when my mother asked a group of masters to show me a picture, she said that you can marry a wife only after you have a weak crown."

Shuiyang's black eyes flashed sharply, then turned dark and unable to see his thoughts, he picked up the teacup and took a sip: "The girls from other families may not be able to wait, but your uncle's family may not be able to."

Zhenyu thought of her uncle's expression of satisfaction as she looked at her these days, and her father's tacit smile. Before Shui Yang mentioned it, she didn't think there was anything wrong, but now the more she thinks about it, the more frustrated she is, she won't let it go... ... Only close relatives were married. Subconsciously, he always regarded his cousin as a younger sister, and never moved even the slightest bit closer to his marriage partner.

Zhenyu feels a headache, he won't marry his cousin!Girls in this era are bound by three obediences and four virtues, rules and dogmas too much, and they feel uncomfortable when they think of marrying a wife who is respectful, virtuous and generous, and even takes the initiative to take concubines and houses for themselves.Just think about it, if there is a partner in the future who can talk freely, can be used as a pillow when it’s okay, can be a dog’s head military adviser when it’s okay, and feel comfortable and at ease in the same room when doing various things in the same room!Lin Zhenyu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his standard at all, she just thought about the matter in front of her as soon as she passed it in her mind.

Shui Yang pressed her step by step: "What if your mother, father, and uncle all want you to marry your cousin?" There was deep anxiety and fear in his eyes.

Zhenyu stared blankly into his eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart, this was the first time he saw fear in Shui Yang's eyes - Shui Yang was like a bamboo like a sword, he would rather bend than bend, never afraid of anything.Zhenyu's mouth was full of bitterness, and suddenly she didn't want to deceive herself, and the scenes since they met flashed in her mind, Shuiyang's smile, Shuiyang's kindness, Shuiyang's company, Shuiyang's comfort, Shuiyang's embrace... There is a slight dependence in my heart, a slight heartbeat...

Hmm, I'm not very surprised by Shui Yang's intentions, but instead have a sense of naturalness?

For Zhenyu, Shui Yang paid full attention to him, filling up the space around him bit by bit, gently and slowly guiding him... How could he not know what the expression on Zhenyu's face and the look in his eyes represented? of.Therefore, as soon as the young man was stunned, Shui Yang would know that this man really took his own heart seriously, and maybe he would also find a little bit of his own heart?

Well, other things, take your time, as long as Zhenyu realizes, he will fill this person's heart little by little... He will smooth the path of their relationship first, and then wait for this person to walk with him.

Zhenyu shook her head, unwilling to let this man show such an expression, she gave her a reassurance: "Cousin is the same sister as Daiyu, there is nothing else!"... and then whispered: "You let me take care of you. Think about it." Just like Shui Yang knew him, he believed that Shui Yang could understand what he said.

After finishing speaking, Zhenyu turned around and left Jiuxianju, and left without caring about anything else.He Liu and Qin Shulai rushed out when they heard the commotion, Shui Yang looked outside, luckily the sun was going down, and with a sweeping glance, he beckoned He Liu to follow.

When Qin Shu came to see his master, he wandered back to the private room, picked up the tea cup and drank it comfortably, but he remembered that it was Master Zhen's place, master Zhen's tea cup, right?

Zhenyu's brain hurts from thinking about it, and he can't think of a reason for him to reject Shui Yang except that he is not a woman. Well, he doesn't want to refuse at all. He knows that Shui Yang is not a person with his temperament. Force himself to accept it, but if he is really determined to refuse or marry a wife and have children, this person can only react in one way, probably that he will never communicate with each other!

He is reluctant to part with this person, so naturally he has to consider accepting it. Fortunately, Shuiyang's experience in his mother and concubine affairs and the palace has given him a persistent stubbornness. If he dares to have any thoughts of concubines, huh, What was waiting for them was not only old age and death, but also the result that he, Lin Zhenyu, married a gentle and gentle wife, gave birth to three or four children, lived happily on his own, and never thought of him for the rest of his life!

Thinking of this, Zhenyu suddenly bared her teeth and squinted her eyes, he was sure that guy must have used the trick of slowly coaxing, hum!Boil the frog in warm water!And that guy must have started a long time ago, let him get used to the reluctance, Zhenyu was discouraged, and the devil was over the top.

Back at the mansion, Uncle Lin Fu, who had just come back from the south for a few days, looked at his muddy shoes and the beads of sweat on his head, his face darkened, and he rushed to the side yard, Zhenyu shrank his head, Fu Uncle must have gone to the swing to settle the score, and the swing happened to be on duty today.Uncle Fu's temper was hissing, hoping that the swing would escape his father's grasp.

Before reaching the gate of the courtyard, I saw Xiao Fuyu flying towards him like a white dumpling, "Brother!" Zhenyu was so shocked that Zhenyu was covered in white sweat. .

Shui Yang, who was sipping tea with a smile in Jiuxianju, made a calculation. Zhenyu was never a pushover. I hope he will think about it for a few days, hoping to discover his "deep feelings" for her. It was all broken in a while.Lin Zhenyu hugged her younger brother, and as soon as she changed her mind to "let nature take its course", she threw away her burden and happily went to play with her fat doll.

……

After wandering around Lin Zhenyu and Lin Zhenyu for a few days, I found nothing. Today, those who followed Lin Zhenyu and outside the Lin Mansion were all beaten up and thrown to the gate of Wucheng Bingmasi .Mother Jia had a gloomy face, and Nanny Lai sat on the lower chair and wiped her tears, and her son took the lead.

When Jia's mother heard that Lin Zhenyu often went to the house of Zuo Shilang of the household department, and that there was a wonderful girl in that family, she wondered in her heart whether the Lin family wanted to marry that family?snort!But Lin Zhenyu is a little lucky, the girl from Zuo Shilang's family is indeed very good, if it is not that his family has no family, and the family background is weak, she would be willing to ask Baoyu, after all, that family has no son, if married His daughter, this old man can't concentrate on planning for her Baoyu?But this family is also funny. A widow sister is found and celebrated with great fanfare, which is a ignorance.

Mother Jia didn't suspect that the widow's elder sister was Aunt Zhou. Although the timing was perfect, Aunt Zhou was from a small family in her heart. How could she have such a blessing? She looked down on her, thinking that everyone in the world would look down on her .Jia's mother rolled her eyes, she had to go to the Lin's house to have a look.

The next day, early in the morning, Lin's Mansion received a post from Rongguo Mansion, saying that the sisters missed Daiyu, so they were sent to have a look.Lin Hai glanced at it, and then went out to visit friends. He and Zhou Bing made an appointment to go to Du's hometown to see the authentic painting of Yan Zhenqing.

The post was handed to Zhenyu brothers and sisters, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, come to play?What a domineering way, it will be delivered in a while.

The mother has already come out of that terrible place in Rongguo Mansion, and they have no scruples anymore. Originally, the father and son were discussing to find an excuse to completely break the peace with the Jia family, and the uncle was also very angry with the Jia family. has his mind.Unexpectedly, the Jia family rushed to make trouble for them. Lin Zhenyu could see clearly that no one in this family knew that unless you woke them up hard, they would treat you as a bully for a long time , will feel that he should be respected and offered to his family.

In less than an hour, three or four cars came from the Jia family, and the grandma invited the women and daughters-in-law who were guarding the cars to the small hall to entertain them. Go, Daiyu heard the maidservant's report and hastily led the maidservants and mother out to greet her.

Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and Sanchun all came, and the most eye-catching thing was that Xue Baochai didn't bring Yinger, but Jin Chuaner and Zijuan.

With mountains, rocks, flowing water, dense vegetation, this inner courtyard is no worse than the Grand View Garden, and even more graceful and refined than the Grand View Garden, with a strong Jiangnan charm.The girls were better, and the girls looked around, both surprised and happy.

When it comes to the floating green water pavilion where Daiyu lives in summer, it is even more amazing. The semi-circular garden is surrounded by tall bamboos, and half of it is built on top of the green lake. There are koi and colorful fish, and lotus leaves and lotuses floating.The courtyard walls and stone masonry are all carved into the shape of flowers and plants, and various flowers and plants are planted in clusters along the verandah. There are no bird cages hanging under the verandah, but birds with bright feathers can be seen by the lake, in the bamboo forest and even in the verandah. The cry is clear and clear, and it is not afraid of people.

Seeing Lian Xiangyun, he clapped his hands and laughed, "Sister Lin has a nice yard! What's so interesting about catching birds in cages?!"

Turning around the cloister, you can see the delicate wood-carved window edges with pieces of glazed windows. This time, even Sanchun and the others were amazed. Such expensive windows, even the old lady’s house is just pasted with fine silk as window screens. Xue Baochai glanced at Daiyu appreciatively.

Daiyu invited them in, and as soon as they entered the inner room, it was really cool.Everyone sat down, picked up tea and looked at the room, Xiangyun was restless, Xichun was young, the two of them looked here and there, and suddenly Xichun praised: "Sister Lin, this curtain is so delicate!"

When everyone looked at it, it was a curtain hanging on the half-moon floor-to-ceiling cover. The curtain was made of rectangular blocks of equal size. The whole block was transparent, with blue flowers floating inside, each block carved with Different images, some are flowers and birds, some are characters, which are extremely interesting.Baochai looked surprised and said, "But it's made of jadeite?"

Xiangyun wondered, "This kind of jadeite?"

Baochai said: "You haven't seen it before. I don't know. Although this jadeite is honored as green, it actually has many colors. These are probably colorless and floating flowers? Most of the bracelets and hairpins we usually see are green. It's rare. It's just such a big curtain, your house is too extravagant."

Daiyu laughed and said: "Sister Bao has a lot of knowledge. I heard from my brother that this was a big rough stone. After all, few people like transparent jadeite. So my brother bought it at a low price. The big ones were used for other purposes, and the rest So someone polished it up and made a curtain for me."

Sanchun knew that Brother Lin loved this younger sister the most. Although he didn't show his envy to him, Xue Baochai smiled dignifiedly. Du Xiangyun was very envious: "As long as I have such a real brother..." said Eye circles are red with tears.

Everyone hurriedly persuaded her, and Tanchun smiled and said, "A while ago, I was quite supportive of the girl in the second elder brother's house who said Miss Shi said Miss Bao, 'As long as I have such a real sister, even if I lose my parents, it's okay'. Did you say that? We, Yun’er, see whoever is good, but how can we come here?” Xiang Yun also laughed.

Daiyu said with a smile: "Although we haven't been together for long, I know that Yun'er is always active and curious. Come here, Yun'er, and I'll take you to a good place!"

As he spoke, he asked Qingkong to open the back door of the side room, and everyone stepped forward to have a look. It turned out that the back was a house facing the lake with three sides hollowed out and a fence on one side. There were a few small birds chirping under the eaves. There are two chubby kittens sleeping in the room, Daiyu said with a smile: "There are not only koi carps in this lake, but also all kinds of big fish. If you catch them, I will ask the cook to make them for you." Eat." Pointing to the Yaoqin on the table, he said, "These birds are not afraid of people. If you can play them well, you will attract many beautiful birds. When the sun goes down, I will ask someone to row a boat. Let's have a good time along the water."

Xiangyun's eyes were shining brightly, and he could not wait to finish speaking before passing away, Daiyu hurriedly ordered Qingkong and Weeping Liu to follow her to watch her, Sanchun was also very moved, and moved over.

Daiyu was about to go with her, but Xue Baochai pulled Daiyu to sit down, and said with a smile, "My good sister, we haven't seen each other for so long, let's talk together, there is a lot of noise at Yun girl's place, tell them to go naughty. "

Then he took Zijuan's hand again, and said with a smile: "Young girl Zijuan heard that we were coming to you, so she hurried over and begged me to take her with me. I saw that she was sincere to you, so I brought her with me. .” Why didn’t he mention Jin Chuan’er when he brought him here.

Zijuan stared at Daiyu with red eyes: "Girl!"

Seeing this, Daiyu said with a smile: "You serve me for a while, I just think about it, but you are now the second cousin's maid, but you can't see each other often. This time, Sister Bao brought you here, too. It's all about our fate."

Zijuan was about to say something when Jin Chuaner blushed and asked Jinghu behind Daiyu: "Sister, I have some... Can this sister take me to the clean room?"

Jinghu nodded, and said to the little girl outside: "Go and invite Mommy and sister Chuxue to serve the girls." After finishing speaking, no matter how anxious Jin Chuaner was, she waited until Chuxue, Bishui and Nanny Yao arrived before bringing Jin Chuan'er left.

Baochai secretly hated that this girl was so troublesome that she couldn't talk to Sister Lin alone!Zijuan only held Daiyu's hand, with tears in her eyes, as if she had a lot to say.Jin Chuan'er followed Jinghu, glanced at Baochai, and went out clutching her handkerchief.
